Honestly one of the most tragic, beautiful, well written, heart wrenching stories I've ever read. Every character was written with such depth, they all had their stories and it was portrayed beautifully. It is realistic and not as full of fantasy as what I usually like to read. I've learnt so much about the history and the lives people led during these times. About the passion and love somebody has for their country and what they are willing to sacrifice. I hated some characters at first, but as I kept reading, I understood and sympathised with their choices. The art, the story, the characters areall top tier.
